3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This bottled brew poured a medium sized head of off-white colored fine to medium sized mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a transparent carbonated dark orange brown colored body and a good lacing. The aroma contained mild malt and caramel notes. The mouth feel was tingly from start to finish with a smooth caramel malt hop flavor. All-in-all its a pretty good brew.

This is an Ohio favorite, so good they can’t keep it on the shelf. Dark hoppy, yet sweet

If you like roasted malts, this is probably better. I’m not a fan, and they’re here. Not really a bad flavor, probably nice for someone who likes such things. Sorry this is kind of a crappy review.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
This seem like a pretty average nut brown ale to me. Does not have much of an aroma. Pours light brown with small creamy head. Taste is a bit nutty with hints of caramel and a bit of hops.

Pours a clear copper color with a finger of off-white head. Lots of cinnamon and ginger aromas, especially ginger. There is a nice bit of sweet malt and bread going on as well. The flavor has plenty of bready malt sweetness as well as some toffee. The ginger is fairly assertive, maybe a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg in there as well. Medium body with low to medium carbonation.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a shaker. Pours clear light amber with big off-white head that dies down. Good small bubble lacing, medium carbonation, medium body, and light cinnamon aroma. Taste is cinnamon, ginger, caramel malt, a hint of honey, and finishes slightly bitter & really short. Pretty tasty winter warmer.

Sampled at an esbls tasting. Clear and coppery. I smell spices and vegetable notes. Pumpkins(?). Lots of spices are tasted. Good!

12/30/11. 12oz bottle courtesy watson1977! Clear amber pour with a nice khaki head that cuts in half but laces plenty. Nice aroma of subtle spices with cinnamon and sweet bread as well as some nice caramel. I’m glad it’s not overspiced. I hate spiced beers. Sweet caramel flavor with subtle cinnamon and just a tang of spicy ginger in there as well. Pretty tasty!
